Contact RMS for school zone flashing lights

Peninsula schools who wish to be considered for school zone flashing lights should contact Roads and Maritime Services, according to Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast, Mr Scot MacDonald

He said that both Umina Beach Public School and the Umina Campus of the Brisbane Water Secondary College had been provided with school zone flashing lights by the NSW Government since 2011.

"Children are some of the most vulnerable people on the road and we know that flashing lights slow motorists down in school zones," Mr MacDonald said.

"From now on, if a new school is established at a location without an existing set of flashing lights, Roads and Maritime Services will deliver the lights when they install a new school zone," he said.

Flashing lights remind motorists of the 40 km per hour speed limit which applies from 8am to 9:30am and from 2:30pm to 4pm on gazette school days.

The flashing lights rollout was funded by the Community Road Safety Fund which redirects speed camera fine revenue into road safety initiatives.

Schools who wish to be considered may do so through roadsafety.transport.nsw.gov.au
